There's something fishy about the fact that he wants all of this personal information about his potential partners, plus pics and then he'll maybe disclose some info, if the chick is "worthy"? Sounds like he either wants to steal identities or wants to fill his spank bank.

I knew a guy once in college that would sign up for internet dating sites use a fake guy pic to get girl pics and then use those girl pics to get even more guy pics nudes which he would then sell to amateur porn sites.

I so dearly hope that everything on that FAQ list came from a compilation of his actual experiences, and that he wasn't just sitting there thinking up scenarios for reasons why women might have some kind of issue with his ad or with him.

Especially the one that reads, "I don't date men off the internet." and then he says "So why are you on the internet reading this?!"

How sad would it be if that had never actually happened to him, and he just visualized it as a reason why a woman might not pass his test.

I guess what I'm saying is, there's no way any of that has ever actually come up, and he just spent 3 hours making it all up in his had and writing it down to justify his insane expectations. How extraordinary.

I'm 100% sure the FAQ' s are things he plucked from the sky and none of those things ever happened to him.

Ha this guy sounds like a gem. Why are you all hating on every girls fantasy?

Though I thought the comments on the article about how he was a douche for not dating anyone currently pregnant or who had kids was odd. I flat out refused to date anyone with kids because I didn't want to be a stepmom. I don't think that makes anyone an asshole to realize they just don't want to be parents yet and to look for a partner who is childless.

Why's the article hating on the fact he doesn't want to date a pregnant woman or a woman who already has children? It seems like an honest admission, but they refer to it as 'not respecting' those women.

He's pretty uptight about his criteria, and uses quotation marks like a mofo, but he spells well enough, which is better than 80% of the folks on Craigslist personal ads.

But he's just particular about the kind of woman he wants to meet, and it doesn't sound like the kind is anything crazy-impossible to be, either.. he wants to meet a smart, nice woman who's serious about finding a life partner.

I think what he's asking for are pretty much the things many guys look for in a woman, they just don't lay it all out explicitly. But why waste your time when you know what you're looking for?

I dunno... I think he's fine. Uptight, but I know lots of uptight guys who have wives/husbands and are very happy.

Is there something super-objectionable about him? Or is it just the deliberate way he's doing it, and the quotation marks?

mike_d85:Infernalist: The big give-away for me was the fact that the guy is looking for a girl 18-27 and he's in his late 30s, if not 40s.

He's a control freak and looking for a woman that he can intimidate and browbeat and emotionally dominate.

Yeah. Persian.

Every ethnic group has the those types. So, not going to judge, but I 'will' say that the whole 'ad' reeks of "You're going to spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week trying and failing to live up to my expectations. And you'll be humiliated and possibly beaten for that failing, culminating in rough sex that you may or may not enjoy."

I dunno, a buddy of mine ended up marrying a woman who had posted a similar list of what she was looking for in a guy. They've been happily married for 15 years because she was up front about what she was looking for and so was he.
